Serial Port Connections
RS-232 and RS-422, serial ports available on the projector: You can connect a device with a serial interface, such
as a computer to either of these connectors (not both) and control the projector remotely by entering specific serial
communication commands.
Connecting RS-232
Two nine-pin D-sub connectors, labeled RS-232 IN and RS-232 OUT on the input panel, are dedicated to serial
communication, see figure below. Using the appropriate serial communication cables, connect the controlling
source, such as a personal computer to the RS-232 IN connector. Set the projector baud rate to match that of the
computer. See “Serial Options - Submenu”, page 61 for details on changing the projector’s baud rate.
Connecting via RS-232 IN connector
Connecting RS-422
To control the projector with a computer or other controlling device with RS-422 capability, connect a RS-422 serial
communication cable between the controlling device and the RS-422 port on the projector. RS-422 is better suited
than RS-232 for serial communication over distances greater than 50 feet.
Use the RS-422 port only if your device had RS-422 capability - always consult the literature provided with your
equipment before connecting
